Miracle Farmer with Special Abilities-Chapter 773 - 0: Mean Tactics_1

"Yes, I found it very strange as well. However, they all had their reasons, and I couldn't find any flaws," Xiao Fang said.

Tutu, investigate these people immediately and monitor the Zhangsun Family's production workshop.

Tutu immediately began a detailed online search, and the results came out swiftly.

Half a year ago, right after Zhang Bin developed two drugs for treating terminal illnesses, the Zhangsun Clan secretly dispatched many ordinary people knowledgeable about pharmaceuticals to apply for jobs at Wenwu Pharma. As Wenwu Pharma was rapidly expanding and needed a large workforce, most of them were hired. After half a year of observation—tracking the daily consumption of medicinal materials, the quantity of drugs produced, and compiling data from the various production processes—they deduced a rough version of the formula. Following a period of experimentation and research, they finally managed to reverse-engineer Zhang Bin's prescription.

Worried that Zhang Bin would find evidence against them, they resigned and left one by one. Moreover, they weren't currently working in the pharmaceutical industry, so Wenwu Pharma had no legal grounds to sue them.

When Zhang Bin finished explaining how the formula was leaked, everyone was so shocked that no one spoke for a long time.

It was a grand scheme, a truly audacious one. Only the Zhangsun Clan had the resources for such an undertaking. To dispatch so many ordinary people who understood the properties of medicinal herbs, all while ensuring they had no apparent connection to the Zhangsun Clan, was an incredible feat. They were all part of a hidden network. The task was practically impossible.

Furthermore, to reverse-engineer Zhang Bin's formula in just six months using only the observations of these ordinary people was beyond the capabilities of an average sect. Only a mysterious organization like the Laoshan Sect could pull it off.

"Chairman, it was my poor management. I'm the one who hired them," Xiao Fang said, her face turning pale with fear.

"Chairman, I'm also responsible. I didn't screen them carefully enough. I never imagined they would use such a method to steal our secrets," Liu Ruolan added, her voice full of dread.

"Don't blame yourselves," Zhang Bin said. "Even I didn't see this coming, so how could you?"

He had even asked Tutu to scrutinize the applicants, but she hadn't found any evidence that they were all pawns of the Zhangsun Family. They had hidden themselves too well, and their coordination was so perfect that they left no openings. They must have reported what they saw during their breaks, going to a place with no surveillance equipment and leaving their phones behind. Clearly, they had anticipated and prepared for Tutu's hacking.

What incredible control did they possess? Just how powerful had the Zhangsun Clan truly become?

"Senior Brother, what's our move?" Ma Rufei, who was also in the meeting, asked calmly, looking at Zhang Bin.

At his words, all eyes turned to Zhang Bin.

A wicked smile crept across Zhang Bin's face. "The Zhangsun Clan is powerful and utterly despicable. How dare they provoke me? Fine. We'll give them the fight they're looking for. I'm going to make sure their plan backfires on them spectacularly. Here's what we'll do…"

Looks of delighted surprise appeared on everyone's faces.

"Hahaha…" Ma Rufei burst out laughing excitedly. "Chairman, that's just devious! They're going to be absolutely furious, practically beside themselves with rage."

"No matter how angry they get, would they dare attack us head-on?" Chen Chaoyue sneered. "This time, we'll teach them a lesson they'll never forget."

"If they dare to attack, the Chairman can just use the authority of the Daoyi Sect to rally experts from all the other sects and wipe out the Zhangsun Family and the Laoshan Sect!" Zhang Haijun added with a strange laugh.

"Don't get ahead of yourselves. The Zhangsun Family and the Laoshan Sect aren't that simple," Zhang Bin said. "This time, it's just about giving them a couple of slaps across the face."

「Yanjing. The Zhangsun Family.」

Changsun Guangxi, Changsun Hongxuan, and three Elders were having a celebratory toast. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Hahaha… After six months of hard work, we've successfully reverse-engineered Wenwu Pharma's formulas and developed two drugs to treat terminal illnesses! From now on, merit and wealth will flow to us endlessly. Everyone has worked hard. I propose a toast!" Changsun Hongxuan declared proudly, raising his cup.

He had personally overseen the operation, which was executed flawlessly and yielded a monumental victory. After all, Wenwu Pharma was protected by powerful Formations; any Cultivator with True Qi would have been noticed instantly. That was why they could only send in ordinary people. And yet, those very people completed the arduous task. A direct attempt to steal the formulas would likely have failed. This, of course, had been his brilliant plan. How could he not be proud?

"Our Young Master is truly brilliant and wise beyond compare."

"The Young Master has achieved a great victory. With this immeasurable merit, he should be able to break through to the Golden Core Realm very soon!"

"Cheers…"

The three Elders were also brimming with excitement and pride, raising their cups and drinking heartily.

By reverse-engineering the formulas, cultivating countless medicinal herbs, and producing drugs for two of the most common terminal illnesses—cancer and AIDS—how much merit could they possibly earn? Wenwu Pharma's production capacity was nowhere near enough to meet market demand. Now that they could mass-produce the drugs, they stood to gain an endless stream of wealth and merit. This was a critical development for both the Zhangsun Clan and the Laoshan Sect, one that would allow the clan's power to skyrocket. In the future, the Zhangsun Clan might even become the most powerful force in the world.

After three rounds of drinks, the head of the Zhangsun Family, Changsun Guangxi, set his cup down and said solemnly, "Gentlemen, let's not get carried away. Zhang Bin will certainly not let this go. He will retaliate. This could even trigger a full-scale war between the sects."

"Dad, what are you worried about? That little upstart? What right does he have to challenge our Zhangsun Family?" Changsun Hongxuan sneered. "That time at the Su Family's home, he ruined my plans. That sealed his fate. I will crush him under my heel, step by step, and make him wish he were dead. And Su Man… she will be mine, sooner or later."

"Do not underestimate him. I've heard he has already reached the Golden Core Mid-Stage. Moreover, as the current Sect Leader of the Daoyi Sect, he holds immense authority over all other sects. Remember, even the former Sect Master, Si Yangze, fell at his hands—utterly destroyed, body and soul," Changsun Guangxi said gravely. "We must be prepared."

"So what if he's reached the Golden Core Mid-Stage? The only reason he broke through so quickly is because he gained an enormous amount of merit from curing all those terminal patients," Changsun Hongxuan sneered. "He only managed to kill the former Sect Master Si Yangze because he commands that Orange Thunder. He must have had some fortuitous encounter, found some mysterious treasure that caused his Thunder Pool to mutate. That's a secret we must obtain. In fact, I'm hoping he retaliates. Then we'll have the perfect excuse to capture him, torture him, and dig out every last one of his secrets."
